We did a music quiz last night for an illustrious crowd. One round was felt a bit on the nose for the gathered guests so was left on the cutting room floor.
If you fancy a go though, here it is:
Nigel Farage Quote or Morrissey Song Title
Good luck and no cheating

Pointless reminder that will achieve nothing, but motorists, please don't get cross at cyclists for not using a cycle path. The Highway Code makes it clear that cyclists are not mandated to use them (rules 61 to 63). Abusing the cyclist doesn't change that.

Europe, I love you. But please learn how to serve a cup of tea. Teabag in first, then add hot water. Serving a cup of hot water with an untouched teabag on the side just doesn't cut it.

Very, very poor. You can forget secure bike parking at stations, it seems - just take as many D-locks as you can carry. #cycling #cyclinglife www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Does anyone else find it crazy that you can walk into a bookshop and be charged £9.99 for a paperback novel that took the author a year to complete, but £17.99 for a completely blank notebook?

Got to love small details and in-joke Easter eggs. Re-watching Alex Rider on Prime, again, and just noticed for the first time that when he goes undercover as entitled brat Alex Friend his full name is actually Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Friend. Nice touch.

This was WH Smith’s in Putney. Built when I was about 4, Brutalist in style, gone in 2019. When I was a kid it contained almost the whole world. Books, magazines, comics, toys, games, stationery. seems a terrible shame to kill a brand like that. A world of memory gone

Yeah, you heard: Mandselson. It's a meta joke, you wouldn't understand, it lives in a different version of reality.
Can't ever see this without boosting it. THIS was the start of the millennium, not Mandselson and the fucking Blairs prancing around, surrounded by all that hideous cultural flotsam in the Millennium Flan.
